Back to blues roots on East FM, tomorrow Saturday arvo...
Action-packed show tomorrow arvo! Three interviews are lined up and three artists and a festival highlight the She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM.
It’s the first of three SBRs to feature artists on the bluestacular line-up for the Auckland Blues Festival, and we’re fortunate to be talking live with friends of the show, Laura Collins (and the Back Porch Blues Band) at 4.30pm, and Paul Ubana Jones at 5.30pm.
They’re both playing at the Auckland Blues Festival on November 12.
We’ll also be putting in the spotlight Grant Haua, the blues-roots ace (and formerly of the dynamic Swamp Thing), at 4pm, as he embarks on a huge national tour that will make him the hardest working man in show-business for a good six weeks. He’s playing at Kumeu Live tomorrow Saturday night.
To cap all that, we’re talking at 3.30pm with Lesley McLagan, also a live music fan and president of Rotary Highbrook, organisers of the upcoming Goodman Highbrook Fun Run Walk on November 2.
On Saturday, our Paul Ubana Jones becomes the most interviewed guest on She’ll Be Right, at three, over 13 years. He really is a master of his craft – a soulful blues-roots troubadour. The most gifted storyteller. Worldly.
Laura Collins, the legend, and her fellow legends – Wayne Mason on boogie pi an o, John O’Connor on guitar, George Barris on double bass and Pete Cogswall on back-porch drums, play cool groove blues and Louisiana strut – and it’s been a while since we’ve talked with Laura, so it’ll be great to catch up.

She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And this Saturday, we’re getting busy on variety. – PJ

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
